Eagles Land All-Pro CB Tariq Woolen

On March 10th, the Philadelphia Eagles just landed a key free agent cornerback from the Seattle

Seahawks to Rick Willen and a one-year deal worth up to $15 million.

This move tops our bowl predictions ahead of free agency and fills a critical gap in their

secondary after a slow start to the signing period.

Howie Roseman, the Eagles Executive Vice President, confirmed the signing and shared plans

at the NFL Combine.

He noted that rookie Cooper Dejean will stick in the slot role, while Willen steps in as

the number two corner opposite the starter.

National media and fans lit up social media with reactions to the news, praising the

athletic fit for defensive coordinator Vic Fangio's aggressive scheme.

Willen, who turns 27 in May, brings all-prol upside-and-speed that lets Quenyan Mitchell

focus on one side of the field, boosting the units, flexibility.

With free agency still heating up, this addition positions the Eagles stronger heading into

training camp.
